Nikki Glaser Calls for Apology from Parents Over Controversial Remarks at Taylor Swift Concert

Comedian Nikki Glaser has stepped in after her parents sparked controversy with their remarks about Julia Roberts and NFL star Travis Kelce at Taylor Swift’s recent concert in Dublin, Ireland.

In an Instagram Story that has since expired, Glaser, 40, shared a screenshot of a news story about her parents’ comments, hinting that an apology would be forthcoming. The incident occurred when Glaser’s mother, Julie, and father, Edward, made critical remarks about a video showing Roberts, 56, interacting with Kelce, 34, during the event.

'She's so gross,' Julie said, adding that it was 'weird' that the actress was 'itching' the athlete's chest. Edward agreed, saying that Kelce was 'trying to get away' from Roberts

“She’s so gross,” Julie remarked, expressing disapproval of Roberts affectionately touching Kelce’s chest. Edward echoed her sentiment, suggesting that Kelce appeared uncomfortable with the interaction.

Julie later issued an apology via Nikki’s Instagram Story, acknowledging that her choice of words was inappropriate. “I should’ve used a different word than ‘gross’,” she stated. “It was meant to be weird, not gross.”

'Uh oh,' the comedian, 40, captioned a since-expired Instagram Story screenshot of a news story about her parents' remarks on Tuesday, writing: 'My parents are going to issue an apology soon'

Despite the controversy, Glaser emphasized that the concert itself was enjoyable for the family, marking her 13th Taylor Swift show. She shared moments of joy from the event, including her father’s emotional reaction during one of Swift’s performances.

Stevie Nicks, who was seated with Roberts and Kelce in the VIP section, also received recognition from Swift during the concert. Swift praised Nicks as a mentor and friend, underscoring their close relationship over the years.

The incident highlights the intersection of celebrity interactions and public scrutiny in today’s media landscape, where even casual remarks can ignite debate and reflection.
